When defining a lifecycle transition rule you can now specify reviewers who must approve or reject the asset to continue to the next state. It’s also possible to configure whether state collaborators will receive e-mail notifications.

Create work items on a remote RTC server

You can now create new work items on a remote RTC server from within RAM. You can do this either through a custom attribute or in a forum post. You still must have credentials on the remote RTC server.

Work item preview

Work item previews are now embedded in the page, instead of being displayed as a popup. This allows you to view more than one work item at a time. When hovering over a work item link, a plus icon will appear. Clicking that icon will open a section showing the details of the work item.

Last month I presented at our Rational Voice Event. The session covered how to establish an asset governance process in your organization and how to configure Rational Asset Manager to implement that governance process. This material is intended for an architect, developer, manager or administrator who is implementing Rational Asset Manager, communities, policies and asset life cycles to manage software assets. I thought the presentation would be valuable to other customers who weren’t able to attend the event, so I am publishing it here RAMDeepDive-Voice

This was the last customer facing session that I have done as the product manager for Rational Asset Manager. I am pleased and thankful to have brought Rational Asset Manager to market and participated in the product’s and customer’s successes. The last three years have been a great and rewarding experience. I have enjoyed working with the RAM customers and product team. I have a new role in IBM. Derek Baron is the new product manager who will soon be posting articles on the RAM Insider Blog and working with you.
